Nicola was lucky enough to start learning the flute with a Suzuki Teacher: Susie Alington. Through this supportive Method she passed her grade 8 with distinction before going to study at Birmingham Conservatoire Junior Department, then onto the Guildhall School of Music & Drama in London. Nicola is first and foremost a musician, and she would like to inspire children to practise hard then share their music with others in expressive performances. She is now a Graduate Teacher of the Suzuki Method and in 2017 travelled to Japan to study with Toshio Takahashi, creator of the Suzuki Flute Method.<\/p>\n

In 2004 she won the Gloucestershire Young Musician Competition and performed at the Cheltenham International Festival of Music.
